With greateffort he opened his eyes. A
great shadow fitted across his dark face. Pro-

Then he shivered all over, and l heard a

boy, with perfect composure.
The dreadful scenes through which he had
passed had destroyed all feeling. He was an
old man before he had ceased to be a child.
That very day took him to the head-quar-
tiers of the sanitary committee in an adjacent
village, and put him in charge of its relatives.
They fumigated the poor boy and put new
clothes on him. He resisted with all his

body who came near him.

the three deep burrows that the woman in

Not q New Theory.

Everybody is now more or less familiar
with the latest theory Of epidemic disease
which is now known TO be propagated by
germs that may, under certain circumstances
be disseminated by the winds, and are taken
into the system through the lungs or the
stomach. Here is remarkable anticipation
of this germ theory ThevcuOt, who died in
1867, in his account of his Asiatic travels,
tells us Of a hot pestilential wind prevailing
in summer from northwest India up to the
western frontier of Persia lie thinks he has
identified this wind with one mentioned in
the Book of Job, and he says that they who
breathe it turn black and fall dead-nOt,
however, everybody who inhales this wind,
but, he explains, there are streaks of fire in
it as small as a hair which, have been seen
by some, and they who breathe in those rays
of fire die ofthem, the rest receiving no pref
udice.
"If it he So" continues Thevenot, "it may
be the thought that these fires voant proceed
from sulphurous exhalations that rise out OF
the earth, which being tossed by the wind
kindle flor they are inflammable), and being
with the air sucked in by respiration, con-
sumo the entrails in mement" Thus, in
their mere wild guessing about the influence
OF Asiatic winds, more than two centuries
ago, we have, mixed W with much that is
fantastic, the distinct hypothesis of the germ
origin of disease, the POSSIBILITY of these
germs being distributed&by the 81, and the
mode OF introduction ineo,lhe human system,
all of which is now entirely corroborated by
the latest science.

Few Understand Horses.

IT is astonishing how few men there are
who know anything about horse. There
is no other animal that the average man is
on such close and intimate relations with, or
that he treats with such gross ignorance of
his peculiarities The teamster now, has
probably done little else than drive a horse
in the interval of shovelng coal. He certain
ly knows how heavy his load is, and you
would think he ought TO know what the
horse can do. But when his horse gets STALL
ed the only way he Can think of TO help the
horse is to beat him. This is one of the things
would have it made regular branch of
study, and l know the hostler who could
furnish textbook. The school of the Cen.
taurs on the plains of Thessaly was indeed
famous in its day, but that was long time
ago. and the drivers of our coal carts are

Afraid OF the Train.

~ have always noticed" said an old en-
gineer on the Burlington road to me- "that
whenever an accident happens to any train
many people avoid riding on that particular
train for some time afterward. Now, the
fact is, that is probably one of the safest
trains on the road for several weeks after its
accident. Every switchman, station master,
watchman-in fine, everybody along the line
of the roads, on the lookout for that train,
and you may depend uron 1t that every
switch will be set right for it. Then, too,
the same crew is likely to be running the
train, and when men have been in a smash
up they are always extraordinarily careful
for some time afterward But Just the same
good many people will wait for another
train. ! suppose IL is a sort of superstition
Surely il is not reasonable"

The Elder booth.

Playing in Boston long ago, the elder
Booth was seized with a sudden fancy for tax
ing long night walks, on which he made his
son accompany him. One night they start
ed out after midnight and for three hours
walked about the dock and quays. Not
soul did they meet until on their return to
the hotel, they saw dark figure following
them, skulking in the shadows of the ware
houses. Edwin was somewhat scared, but
his father stepped forward and in a loud voice
said:
Good evening, my friend" The man did not
answer, but came forward into the, light and
showed himself, in looks at least, thorough
rufflan. With curse lie came towards them.
The old man drew himself up and asked -
"Who are you, my friend Who are you ?"
I'm thief, that's what am" said the fel-
low. sand l." said Booth, in a voice of
wonderful sweetness, land am pirate"
and he shook the astonished ruffian warmly
by the hand. The effect was electrical, Ed
win Booth said, and the man troubled them

Taxes in the Millennium.

Col. Bob Ingersoll proposes that all homes
shall be made free from taxation.
Henry George, Col. Bob's present teacher
in politics, wants to have nothing taxed ex-
cept the bare land.
The Progressive Democrats, Ingersolps
and Georges party, want all the land divided
up, SO that each man may have home.
Supposing that all these statesmen have
their way and attain their purpose, and that
no taxes are put on anything but the land
and all the land is put into homes, and the
homes are all free from taxes, then there will
be only one thing to do.
This will be to fall back on Horace Gree
leys plan, and pay all the taxes out of the
public treasury

Pearls Of Wisdom.

You will not be loved if you care for none
but yourself. He who does not look before,
lags behind. Who is always prying into
other meme affairs, leads dangerous life
More are drowned in the bowl than In the
sea. Gaming is the child of avaricc, but the
parent of prodgality. He that speaks doth
sow, but he that holds his peace doth reap.
The stone is hard and the drop is small. but
a hole is made by the constant fall. The
greatest cunning is to have none at all. He
has much TO do who would please everybody.
Life is half spent before one knows what life
Is. Where there is no want of will there will
be no want Of opportunity. The mother-in-
law does not remember that she was daugh-
ter-in-law.

Tile PE[TITE ELL ELL.

This Congress Will at least outrank all former
ones in the nImber OF bills Its members have
introduced. SO far nearly 1880 have been
presented. Three lourhs Of these belong to
the House. And still The number continues to
grow every week. There is practically no
chance for any measure introduced now. The
majority Of these clcIcnth-hour hill, are offered
merely TO crafty constituents, their sponsors
knowing that they will not lie called on 20 speak
for them, rs committees will not consider them.
But they lumhcr up the records Of Congress.
and In one way and another cost the people a
good deal Of money.
Three fourths Of the II, 800 bills are Of pri-
valc nature, and should not occupy the attcn-
largo sum. A computation made at the last
session showed that about half a million dol
lars had been expended in few years in mere
~ printing private bills. The same hill, no
matter how often rejected, is introduced In each
Congress, and the people are put 10 the eX-
pcnsc Of rcprnting 1t with accompanying c-
ports, and the time OF committees is taken up
in rcconsidcring it. This is not only a mistake,
but IA positive evil The present method is also
unsatisfactory and unjust alike 10 the public
and the claimants, the honest bills suffering be-
cause Of The dishonest ones. Numerous methods
Of relief have hccn proposed, but 50 far none
has been adopted. Tho creation Of the Court
Of Claims, owing to Its limited jurisdiction. has
not diminished the pressure on Congress. II
would be an excellent thing if Congress would
adopt some of the measures pending on lis cal
cndars 10 meet this private bill evil.

privilege Of moving the adjournment OF the
House, however, Is curtailed. Under the pres
emit rules such motion can be made II forty
members rise In their places to support it. I'm
der tho amended rule the Speakers consent
must be obtained to the motion after written
oppNcation has been handed In. This Is the
only important modification Of procedure which
the cable dispatches have announced. This Is
obviously too large a discretionary power to be
lodged in the Chair.
The great restorative change that is required
is one that will multiply means Of action
through tho medium Of standing committees.
Two committees of this order were authorized
by Mr.. Gladstone's amended rules. and measures
reported by them were to have the same stand
ing as measures reported from the Committee
of the Whole for final passage. Two impor-
tant bills wcro dealt with by one OF these COM
mittecs and passed by the Commons at one
session but the system has not been followed
during the last two years. In nearly every
other Parliament the details Of legislation are
ordered by standing committees but at West
minister laborious discussion in the whole house
il considered an indispensable committee Stage.
The new rules proposed by Mr.. Smith do not
tend to develop the powers and efficiency Of
organized agencies OF the House nor is the
operation of the previous question made simple
ond decisive.
